Colin Dawson, Greens candidate for Mitchell

I have lived at Bella Vista for the past 15 years.

My work requires me commute to many parts of Sydney, and knows we need much better public transport.

The Greens are committed to reversing the bias in transport spending that favours road building over public transport.

We also believe urban development and population must be managed sustainably.

Greenfield developments are destroying once productive farms and bushland, as the effects of peak oil take hold, we will need local farms.

Many imported foods contain genetically modified crops, offering a unique opportunity for Australia to become a GM-free oasis. We are committed to mandatory GM labelling and protecting farmers who reject GM crops.

We are the only party with a clear vision on global warming. Australia can move to 30per cent renewable energy by 2020 using sun, wind and wave power.

The Greens want loan guarantees for large scale projects and feed-in tariffs for small installations.
